I am having a bit of a problem. I am using this plugin and the get custom fields plugin at the same time and its kinda not interacting well. I use a custom field to input a url that displays as an image in my post, however if i use the_meta() it prints the custom field and the URL. Is there a way (as suggested above) to only pick the fields I want to display? I don’t quite understand how the above poster did what they did.

nm, I got it to work the way I need it to using the get custom field plugin. So far this plugin looks to be invaluable. Just one problem, I have 2 check boxes defined in the conf.ini file and when I grab their custom fields with get custom field plugin it only pulls one of the checkbox fields the other one says “true” any ideas?

Is there any way I can adapt it so that, when a post is created, all the custom fields will automatically be ‘populated’ with some nominal data (later to be changed manually)?
I would be grateful if you could make suggestions!
Thanks

Ditto – I don’t seem to see any of the info showing up on the post page. When I create the post, I see the option for custom fields, but nothing shows up when I publish. Any ideas? I’m highly interested in this plugin. If there is a way to make this work, I would appreciate a quick email with instructions. Thanks!

I see now the post variables in the first case are the ajax submit that happens any time you deselect a field, and the 2nd are the real save that seems like it can only happen after one successful ajax submit (when it shows saving draft)

For those who want to use tiny mce with textareas you can modify rc-custom-field-gui.class.php like this:

I’m still using this plugin but was wondering if it could be updated to fit in WP 2.7? It’s still functioning as it should, just not in a handy place at the bottom of the ‘write new post’ screen. If it would fit in the new page layout of 2.7 I could move it up next.

It looks as if this plugin is old, very old ;). Nevertheless I still use it everyday to add icons to posts I write. So, when there is a gallery inside a post, or it contains interactive content, or video or sound, I add an icon to it so visitors are aware of them. Somehow, with version 1.3.2 of WP, I have to click ‘Save post’ many times for the custom field to be saved with the post. Also, the checked boxes on the post admin screen are not visible afterwards. When I succeed in adding one of those custom fields, the actual checkbos remains empty.

Are you in any way still maintaining this plugin? As far as I can see it’s the only plugin that gives me checkboxes for custom fields.

Very old indeed. I believe many have taken the idea of this plugin and created a similar plugin. I don’t remember the names but just post on WordPress’ forum or IRC and someone should be able to suggest a plugin.

Yes, there are similar plugins, like the verve meta boxes. That one works fine, the only thing is that is doesn’t work well. Sometimes all the info is suddenly gone, after moving the window to another place on the admin page. This Custom Field GUI I’m using for years and just now it gives me some trouble. But I’m already searching for ohter plugins :)

This plugin was already outdated long before Custom Post Types was introduced. There are plenty clones of this plugin that are compatible with latest WP.

Please search the plugin directory or post on the WP’s forum or IRC for recommendation. The other plugins should be compatible with mine (provided the authors code them properly) and you don’t lose your data or have to migrate the data.
